perfect location!! The two apartments that we booked had wonderful sea views and were so spacious….. loved them

Susan United States of America

The property was modern, clean, close to everything in Ponta Delgada, had a beautiful view, and the staff was fantastic and friendly.

Robert United States of America

Very good hotel. Clean, very helpful staff. Perfect view to marina.

Michael Israel

Breakfast was very good, although the juice and the coffee were too diluted for my personal tastes, but you can ask for an espresso. Location is excellent, the hotel is exactly in the middle of where all the restaurants are on the main city street. Take into account, that there are no free parking in the area if you arrive there by your own car. The room was as expected and there was a bottle of water waiting for us every day when we came back. WI-FI speed was excellent

My stay at the property was great. Upon my arrival, I got an upgrade from a room to an apartment. It was lovely, with a separate bedroom and large living room with kitchen, dining table, and a balcony. Really nice :) The breakfast was good and the area around is nice, since this is right next to the marina. Perfect location for exploring the city and being close to the marina boulevard. Really great stay overall!

  • Do you have parking available on site
    Our hotel doesn't have its own parking. You can park in the streets surrounding the hotel for a metered fee. Parking in parking areas is charged from Monday to Friday from 08h00 to 19h00 and Saturday from 08h00 to 13h00, and the value varies between 0.60 € and 1 € per hour. You can also park in the underground car park just in front of the hotel. The hotel has a limited number of cards that give access to the underground car park and cost € 5.00 per day. If you choose this mode, you should ask at check-in if we have any cards available, as the number of cards is limited, we cannot book them in advance.
